I'd like to thank the Manager and the Board for their openness at today's fans' forum. I was left with the impression that everyone has the best interests of the club at heart - and that's not a sentiment that I've felt for some time. I was delighted that David Hopkin was retained at the end of last season, not least because the club needs a period of stability on (and off) the park. He spoke passionately about his desire to make the players better, to ensure that they develop self-belief though coaching and to demand commitment from everyone selected to play. As a fan, that's all I'm looking for. If we lose games then so be it, as long as we can say that everyone in a Livi strip gave it their best. There's a level of competence at the club now that has been sadly lacking for a few years. We lack the funds to be a slick, highly resourced operation - relying on volunteers and goodwill much of the time - but I hope the Board knows that the fans are there to support them, and the club, in whatever way we can. David Hopkin has a clean slate and is building his own squad, looking for them to play his way. I, for one, will be giving him my full support.

After all the secrecy, are we now to know who is on the Board and who sits on the Operating Committee?
Legally it still appears to be McDougall, Wilson and Gemmell who are the Directors

Did anyone ask about the involvement of Martindale? This seemed to be a hot topic on this & the Livi Room Boards, so it would be interesting to know if anyone had the gumption to ask.

Can't say I was thrilled to see Hopkin remain our manager, I wasn't happy with his player selection, tactics or playing players out of position, imo he was as responsible as anyone for us being relegated.
I'm willing to start afresh and see how he gets on this season though.

See Rankine still has his man on the board. So Ford gas no involvement other than major shareholder? ??
